We humans have no natural predator you might say but that is not true: there is one.

It kills millions of humans every year; about one every 30 seconds.

It's a major contributor to a global conspiracy to destroy as much of the environment that humans require to survive as possible; to kill even more humans at an accelerating pace and make the survivors miserable.

Even without its co-conspirators it's capable of turning entire bustling cities into places unfit for humans.
Humans now plan their cities specifically with this predator in mind; building some defences but with ultimately little success at curbing its free roam.

Worst yet: It has successfully fooled humans into thinking they are dependent on it when in fact the opposite is the case.

It's a predator that we have created ourselves:

The car.

My red heart emoji (❤️) looks weird in #Firefox

This has been the case for quite a while now and I cannot for the life of my figure out why that is. I never explicitly made it this way.
It's only in Firefox and a machine with pretty much the exact same #NixOS config does not exhibit this issue.

I tried clearing unused fonts out of \~/.local/share/fonts/ (no emoji fonts remain) and updated the fc-cache but it didn't help. (Obviously I restarted Firefox.)

Any ideas?

After a bit of confusion, I found out why my #Firefox was being laggy on some website despite me turning off Javascript.

Turns out I had set layers.acceleration.disabled while debugging V-Sync.

What this setting does is effectively disable hardware acceleration for a core component of page compositing; making everything laggy.

Mess with settings in a dedicated guinea profile people!

Meine kostenlosen 125MB Datenvolumen im Familienvertrag sind wohl doch nicht kostenlos; ich brauche einen neuen Mobilfunkvertrag.

Schlappe 20€/GB/Mo, wtf?!

125MB ist wenig, aber für meine Zwecke fast ausreichend.
1GB wär denk ich mein sweet spot; ggf. 2GB.
Telefonie mach ich seltenst, SMS brauch ich nur für 2FA codes.

Der beste, den ich bisher gefunden habe, ist Congstars "Prepaid wie ich will" bei 2€/GB/Mo.

Telekom Netz bevorzugt; zur not auch Vodafone. Kein Telefonica.
